Book Description:
Reducing malnutrition is central to reducing poverty. Malnutrition is implicated in half of all child deaths and causes much illness and cognitive underdevelopment. As the growing evidence demonstrates, fetal and young child malnutrition threatens survival, growth, and development in childhood, and it increases the risk of chronic diseases in later life. The Millennium Development Goals cannot be reached without significant efforts to eliminate malnutrition.
